Immersed in the countryside between Alberobello and Monopoli, about 20 km from the splendid waters of Polignano a Mare and Monopoli, on the border with the Itria valley, about 80 km (1 hour and 20 by car) from Matera, the “Trulli delle Fate Fuffe ”are the ideal place to spend your holidays, with family or friends, in a frame of total relaxation and privacy. The ancient "Trullo delle Fate Fuffe", dating back to the 19th century, is part of a property that extends for about one hectare among olive trees, cherry trees and a cool old oak forest and is presented in its original structure with 7 cones and with an area of over 150 square meters. Equipped with large outdoor spaces and a pergola where you can eat during the summer, the trullo has 3 bedrooms (one double and two singles), and 1 annexe with 2 beds, 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen and 1 living room . The trulli are immersed in biodiversity as proposed by the farmers of the last century who planted olive trees (of which you will taste the oil), cherry trees, fig trees, pomegranate trees apple, quince and almond trees. The trullo has been recently renovated according to the standards of a modern home, respecting the ultra-centennial architecture of the trullo and the ornamental style of the characteristic Alberobello area with the addition of typical Mediterranean furnishings: restored traditional peasant furniture, sofas in masonry with cushions, kitchen equipped with every comfort (dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, Grottaglie ceramic services, tasting glasses), masonry bathrooms decorated with Vietri tiles from the Amalfi Coast. Tap water can be used for washing and cooking but for drinking we provide bottled drinking water. The property has a natural gas heating system. The peculiar architecture of the trullo with thick walls and high vaults ensures thermal inertia so that a "natural" air conditioning brightens the living room even on the hottest days Standard plants.

We had a wonderful stay. The place is calm and quiet and quaint, Mariafranca is friendly and responsive, the area around the house is beautiful. Couldn’t recommend it more!
Staying in a trullo is an experience I will always remember fondly. It really is a special space. Trulli Delle Fate Fuffe was a wonderful example. Who needs Alberobello when you can stay here? It is a beautiful property located in the hills above Monopoli (about a 20 min. drive). There were 3 excellent restaurants in the neighborhood. Luciana provided all the necessary amenities (great coffee!). We were totally pleased with our experience. 10/10Please note -- the property is located about 2 KMs on a one lane road. I was pretty nervous at first, thinking I'd end up backing up after encountering a car coming from the opposite direction. However, that never happened. The road was fine.
Wonderful host, beautiful place and location for those seeking silence surrounded by nature only, very charming trulli with nicely restaurated buildings. We enjoyed every single moment despite of an extremely hot wheather.

The hause is an original Trullo, very nicely restaured. It has a lot of charm, and is also very well equipped for long permanence. The garde is huge, and offers many possibility to sit outside and relax. From there we visited the Castellana Cave and Alberobello. In the sourrounding is a supermarkt and some restaurant. Perfect for someone that like old houses and countryside.

Great place to stay. I would lean more towards not staying there in the winter months, however i bet it is absolutely gorgeous the other three. The owner and caretaker helped with the hiccups through the heat and hot water not working. Beautiful Trulli. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this country trulli is for you. You will definitely need a car if you are staying here. Taxi service is very expensive.

Beautifull with lots of space
We had a wonderfull stay in Autumn. Lots of space, options to sit outsite, a truly original feeling of the house. The only missers was that it was on the VRBO website it was stated to be 0.2 km from the Monopoli Catherdral. So we expected to be near the centre of Monopoli, which it is absolutely not. It is as quiet and outside as you can get.....

Stayed 2 weeks in the Trulli and had a great time. Total relaxation in the quiet calm of the local olive grove, and lots of fresh herbs from the garden and lots of wildlife close at hand. We were just a bit early for the pomegranates. Thankfully Mariafranca was there to guide us in on the first night as it would have been difficult to find in the dark. Some signage would be useful for future visitors.

Great charming property, unique experience to stay in an ancient building. Lovely decorated, lots of character. A fantastic rural setting to enjoy peace and tranquility. Located relatively closed to most major attactions, but note that a car is required to move around. Easy check in process and communication with property manager Mariafranca.
Rated description as 4 due to the fact that listing doesn't say that an additonal daily cost of EUR 30 is charge if heating is requested (we didn't need it for end of October booking). Thick blankets are provided. Also note that washing machine is set to clean only to a ~ 20 minutes cycle of 20 C.

We really liked our Holiday-Trulli
It is very special to live in such a building for some days. There is a lot of space and places to sit inside and outside.
It is a nice place to have some relaxing days with the opportunity to visit some beautiful villages oder the beaches.
You definitely need a car to get around, do your groceries, but its worth it.
In the description it is not so clear how many beds and rooms are available. One matress was really bad and we missed one bed, but the next day, they helped us. So overall a nice experience! Thank you!

Terribly dangerous
The showers didn’t drain well and water spilled out of the doors which aren’t sealed well. No bath rug or mat. My 81yo mother fell and LOST A TOOTH. The property owner takes no responsibility.

1- this lady did not pay before to entry in the property; I was to nice waiting for the final payment
2- the shower works perfectly since we do regular maintenance and any guest never reported any problem before and after the stay of Miss Crosby
3- we have a mat just outside the shower in both bathrooms
4- we have non-slip showers and also for hygiene reason we do not have mat inside the showers
3- we take responsability for any problem that may happen related to malfunctioning
Friends together in this architectural marvel. This traditional trulli set in a grove of olives and an orchard of cherries was amazing. Friendly greeter had left the house clean and sparkling. One note, this is a country house property with short drives to local sites and restaurants. That being said you should come stocked with groceries for your stay. Basics were already at the house, as well as a nice welcome basket, there is a local well stock market about 10 minutes away down charming rock lined lanes. Car or bicycle is needed. An alert to tall guests, some doorways ar shorter than 6’ and most or just about 6’2”, practice ducking! One comfortable double/queen bed, all the rest ar small singles. Truly only two negatives: printed instructions on the clothes washing machine, missing the dryer cycle, and the bedding needed to be updated… single mattress need replacing, a futon is not comfortable for long. We would definitely return to this accommodation, add a pool and I would not leave..

We werden heel goed en aangenaam onthaald door Maria Franca. De trulli is ruim en heel verzorgd, met alle comfort. Ook de buitenruimte is aangenaam om in te vertoeven, met de verschillende terrassen,op een aanzienlijk domein. Met als pluspunt de jacuzzi met mooi uitzicht. Ideaal voor iemand die in alle rust zijn vakantie wil doorbrengen. Een goede uitvalsbasis om de mooie stadjes van Puglia te bezoeken.
Struttura molto bella e curata, immersa nella natura per una vacanza rilassante tra gli ulivi ma anche a 20 minuti da spiagge e mete turistiche per giornate più movimentate. Host disponibile e cordiale. Tutto perfetto!
C’était notre premier séjour dans cette belle région, et nous avons été enchanté , déjà , par cette belle demeure qu’est le Trulli delle fate Fuffe et bien sûr par la région. Nous avons apprécié, Alberobello, Matera, gallopoli, Monopoli, et tout ce que nous avons vu ,mais nous avons également apprécié la gentillesse des personnels que nous avons pu côtoyer.Nous y retournerons c’est sûr.
Hébergement au calme au milieu des oliviers. Facile d'accès, voiture indispensable. Literie correcte. Envisager un changement des poêles à frire. Sinon tout était OK.
Superbe gite dans la nature avec grand jardin et nombreuses terrasses sous diverses expositions. Situé tout près de superbes sites touristiques incontournables des Pouilles. Le bemol: nous y étions un peu tôt dns la saison et n'avons pas pu profiter des extérieurs et du coup le gite manquait un peu de confort. Il est plus fait pour une famille que pour un sejour entre amis ( nous étions 6).Attention difficulté d'accès lavec un ford 9 places (véhicule particulièrement long).
Nous avons regretté que 2 des équipements majeurs (lave linge et lave vaisselle) étaient en panne à notre arrivée et n’ont jamais été réparés ou remplces
